The Cisco 804 router is designed for small business or remote branch office connectivity. This unit provides a high-performance connection with integrated ISDN and Modem capabilities, facilitating substantial communication processes through an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) interface. The Cisco 804 ensures efficient and secure data transmission, supporting multiple applications such as remote access, small office Internet connectivity, and telecommuting requirements. It also offers basic routing functions that make it suitable for both WAN and LAN usage.
This desktop unit is equipped with four Ethernet ports, making it possible to link multiple devices within a local network. These Ethernet ports provide a maximum transfer rate of 10 Mbps, adequate for less bandwidth-intensive environments. Additionally, the device integrates an ISDN BRI port to deliver faster internet speed over digital lines compared to traditional analog dial-up modems. The router also features NAT (Network Address Translation) for improved security and IP address management across the connected devices.
Another advantage is the built-in modem that comes with this router, which provides a reliable backup connectivity option. If the ISDN line goes offline, the modem automatically switches on to maintain Internet connectivity. This feature is essential for environments where uptime is crucial. The Cisco 804 provides simple desktop installation with its compact format, making it space-efficient for small office setups.
The device supports various WAN protocols, including PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and Multilink PPP, enhancing its flexibility for different network configurations. The unit's security features, such as PAP/CHAP authentication, further bolster the protection of transmitted data. The Cisco 804 router is, thus, a versatile solution for ISDN-based network connections in smaller-scale environments.
